An emerald for May made hers happy wife;
while an agate for June gave her health
and protection from fairies and ghosts. If
born in July the stone was q ruby, which
tended to keep her free from jealousy of
her husband; while in August the sar-
donyx made her happy in the maternal
relation. In September, q sapphire was
the proper stone, it preventing quarrels
between the welded pair; in October, o
csrbuncle was chosen, to promote her love
Of home. The November born bride wore
a topaz, it having the gift of making her
truthful and obedient to her husband;
while in December the turquoise ensured
her faithfulness. Among the German
country folk the last named stone is to
the present day used as a setting for the
betrothsl ring, and so long as it retains its
color it is believed to indicate the con-
stancy Of the wearers.
From Italy this fsuciful notion spread
to France, and French bridegrooms would
sometimes insure themselves against q bad
matrimonial bargain, and, as far as they
could, guarantee to their brides a variety
Of good qualities by presenting twelve
rings, n for each month, with occasion
ally one or two extra as special charms.
However, this sStravsganee in the number
of rings used atiweddings is not q solitary

CHAPTER VI.
AN rArLY cuRIsTIAN CEREMONY.
Next morning, at the earliest blush of dawn
we rose and performed such additions as cir
cumstanees would allow, and generally made
ready to start. am bound to say that when
there was sufficient light to enable us to see
each others faces /, for one, burst out in a
roar Of laughter. jobs fat and comfortable
couatenanco was swollen out to nearly twice
its natural size from mosquito bites, and Leo's
condition was not much better. Indeed, of
the three had come OFT much the best, prob
ably owing to the toughness of my dark skin,
and to the fact that good deal of it
was covered by hair, for since we
started fron England l had allowed my
naturally luxuriant beard to grow at its
own sweet will But tho other two were,
comparatively speaking, clean shaved, which
of course gave tho enemy larger extent Of
open country to operate on, though as for
Mahomed, the mosquitoes, recognizing the
taste of true believer, would rot touch him
at any price. How often, l wonder, during
the next week or so did we wish that we were
favored like an Arab
By the time that we had done laughing as
heartily as our swollen lips would allow, it
was daylight, and the morning breeze was
coming up from the sea, cutting lanes through
the dense marsh mists, and here and there
rolling them before it in great balls Of fleecy
vapor So we set our sail, and having first
taken look at the two dead lions and the
dead alligator, which we were Of course
unable to skin, being destitute Of means of
curing the pelts, we started, and sailing
through the lagoon, followed the course Of
the river on the further side. At midday,
when the breeze dropped, we were fortunate
enough to find convenient piece Of dry land
on which to camp and light a fire, and here
we cooked some wild duck and some Of the
water bucks flesh-not in a very appetizing
way, it is true, but still, sufficiently. The
rest of the bucks flesh we cut into strips and
hung in the sun, to dry into "biltong," as
believe the South African Dutch cali fesf
thus prepared. On this welcome patch Of
dry land we stopped till the following dawn
and. as before, spent the night in warfare
with the mosquitoes, but without othel

UsTANE SINGS,

When the kissing operation was finished
by the way none Of the young ladies offered
to pet me in this fashion, though saw one
lowering around Job, to that respectable in
dividual's evident alarm-the old man Billali
advanced, and graciously waved us into the
cave, whittier we went, followed by Miss
Ustane, who did not seem inclined to take
the hints gave her that we liked privacy.
Before wo had gone five PAGES 1t struck me
that the cave that we were entering was none
of natures handiwork, but, on the contrary,
had been followed by the hand of man. So
far as we could Judge, it appeared to be about
100 feet in length by so wide, and very lofty,
resembling cathedral aisle more than any
thing else. From this main aisle opened
passages at distance Of every twelve or
fifteen feet, leading, / suppose, to smaller
chambers. About fifty feet from the entrance
Of the cave, just where the light began to get
dim, fire was burning, and threw huge
shadows upon tho gloomy walls around.
Here Billali halted, and asked us to be seated,
saying that they would bring us food, and &c
cordingly we squatted ourselves down upon
rugs of skins which were spread for us, and
waited. Presently the food, consisting OF
goats flesh boiled, fresh milk in an earthen-
ware pot, and boiled cohs Of Indian corn, was
brought by young girls We were almost
starving, and do not think that ever in

Installation Of Rev. w. G. Schacfer

Installation Of Rev. w. G.. Schacfier
On last Sunday morning a large con-
gregation was present at Luther Chapel
to witness the impressive ceremonies IN
connection with the installation of Rev. ".
G. Schaetfer, as pastor of the Lutheran
church at this place. The exercise was
conducted by Rev. DR.. Holland, of New
berry College, and Rev. DR.. Hawkins,
editor of the Lutheran Tisitor Rev.
Mr.. Schaeffer and the officers of the
church occupied front seats.
The sermon was preached by DIR. aaW-
kins, editor of the Lutheran Visitor.
He took as his text 1st Thes., 9Th chapter
and 18th verse. AS Introductory he spoke
! of the wonderful perfection with which
God works in the laws of nature. In
every detail there is wonderful adaptation
and harmony, from the falling Of a spar
row even to the moving of worlds in their
orbits. In the bible alone, God reveals
himself to man, and in the work of grace
he has the assistance Of man, in working
out Gods eternal purpose in the saliva
vation of his soul. To St. Paul was given
the task of revealing to man the details of
Christian work. In the text he mentions
bat one of the multitudinous combinations
that God has inaugurated to carry on his
work, that of pastor and people. And
whenever he touches upon this critical and
finely adjusted relationship he seems to be
animated with deep sense OF the delicacy
Of the question, and to catch new in
spiration. A great deal depends on this
relation in the development of the plan
of salvation. A mutual responsibility
exists between pastor and people. The
people must know the pastor in his work,
in his teachings, his doctrines attend
upon his ministry and follow his leading.
Must esteem him, his Office, his cause.
Know him in his wants, his troubles and
his responsibilities. If you do this, and
he does his duty, the purpose of God, in
this relationship, will be carried out. The
pastor is not to have all the religion of the
congregation, and do all the praying and
edifying.
The sermon throughout was full of good
advice to the congregation. At the close
OF the sermon, Rev. DR.. Holland, accord
ing to the ritual Of the Lutheran church,
installed the pastors and delivered the
charge to him. DR.. Holland said the
pastor was to be the good shepherd Of
his flock, and should ever keep before
him the perfect ideal, ever striving to be
more perfect. He may never reach the
perfect ideal of the Good Shepherd, but
by having before him the perfect ideal,
and striving to reach it, he would be
more efficient in his labors.
DR.. O. B. Mayer, for the congregation,
answered that Rev. W. c. Schaeffer had
been duly elected pastor and had accepted.
Rev. Mr.. Schaeffer then presented himself
before the altar and was installed.
Mr.. Schaeffer comes to Newberry from
Richmond, Va, and has been here about
month. He is an excellent preacher
and is attracting large congregations to
all his services. We hope Ae may find
Newberry a pleasant field in which to
labor.
